Super scary shit...

It seems as though every 6 months or so I get particularly worried about the state of civilization. Currently, I am fearful that America may not be able to pull its way out of its current financial free-fall, and that our society may landslide into chaos. I also worry that even if we do pull ourselves out of this mess, we will create hyperinflation that may yet ruin us financially in another few years. And, too, the whole world may sink into Depression. I read an article yesterday in SFGate that described the current state of Dubai, and it rang my bell. Sounds as if the whole country is one giant and EMPTY shopping mall right now. Anyway, I scour my brain again and again thinking of ways I can personally address the today's economic climate. Right now, I am past the investment stage. My stocks are worthless and the US dollar may not have any long-term value. It's time for commodities to supplant savings. I am thinking about: canned food, .22 rounds, skills classes, gardening, reinvigorating bonds with other preparedness-minded people, and my land. Sigh.
More to come soon, I'm sure...
